It took me several times to get hired.
I finally got hired by them last year after sending in my resume I think 3 times. I really like working for them. My only complaint originally was the slow platform (Iscriptor), but they have recently upgraded and it is much faster than before.
They do request a schedule so they have some idea of when you will be working, but it can something as generic as M-F mornings. You don't have to give exact hours and they are extremely flexible if something comes up. I have never had an issue with needing a day off.
They do have IM, but I rarely get messages (probably 6 in the last year for STATs). They pretty much leave you alone to work, but if I need a question answered, they are quick to respond. I do occasionally get emails updating us or reminding us about account specs.
Overall, I am really happy there.
I live in NY & have applied to them svl times over the years. Have never had a reply. nm

I've applied with them THREE times and have never received a response - sm
and it's not because I don't have experience. I had been with Brand X National for 8 years (you can probably figure out who) when I applied with Spheris, and I never got a response. Sent a second ap, nada. Third ap, still nothing.
Through this whole time period Spheris had want ads scattered all over the net. I'll never, ever understand why they didn't get in touch with me. Their loss....I'm now working for a local company and completely satisfied.
Yes, applied and was hired
two years ago. Medware is a very good company. I applied on their website and took a multiple choice quiz. I received a call from a recruiter that same day and was hired. The software is easy to learn and my trainer was very professional. I have had steady work for two years, direct deposit every other Friday (big change from my previous service) and find the insurance is affordable. I think the Medware people care about their MTs and have always felt respected by my team leader, she is nice. I would encourage anyone looking for steady work and on time pay to consider Medware. With the incentive I am near 9 cpl and type around 13000 a pay period. It was higher when I worked nights but I have since gone to dayshift. My insurance cost is $17 a week, it is from United Healthcare. Hope that info is useful to others.
I know someone who applied and was hired SM
by Spheris who didn't have to take ANY kind of test, it was weird, I didn't know they did that. So it may not just be CS grads who don't test, it might be everyone.
I am guessing that they figure if someone really can't do the job they will wash out right away.
I applied and was hired by
lots of work. There is low to no work though. I've only been paid once so far but it was accurate and on time.
I applied last year, was hired, and then
the recruiter had a family emergency and I never heard from her again. I got tired of leaving messages for her. Looks like this is the norm for this company.
I applied a month ago, they hired me, said they would send
me the paperwork, but never did, so I took another job. Even the interviews were confusing, so I may be lucky.
I applied, was called and hired for the account I was on at QT. nm
no msg
A lot of times, if they need extra help, they will over 1-1/2 times our regular rate. sm
This is the equivalent of OT but you get it even if you have not done 40 hours already. I have also received AmerExp gift cards a few times for incentives offered. I think it depends on the account.
I do know for sure that they are working on an incentive program but I have no details and not even sure if they are still looking at it.
I do know for sure that I make more $$ with Keystrokes than I have ever made anywhere else.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
Can I asked when you applied? I applied a few weeks ago
and never heard a word and I have over 16 years of experience. I applied because I got a recommendation from a friend of a friend who loves working there..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anymore details other than that. I'm all for even one positive at this point on this frustrating job search. Good luck to you though and check back with us to tell us how the interview went etc. Thanks
No. I applied, but I've applied SM
at a lot of places lately. I got an e-mail from a lady whose name starts with an M, but she didn't identify her company in the letter. She had my resume on the bottom of her e-mail, so I know it's someone I applied with, but I don't know which one!! LOL I'm thinking it's The Word Pros. Anyone else apply to The Word Pros and get an e-mail from M?
I'd love to hear information about them as well.
Just Me
I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
Me too. I got cut off one too many times.

I can't tell you how many times....
this has happened to me! It's as if they either don't listen, or don't want to hear that you are only able to take X amount of work each day. Don't you feel taken advantage of? The only solution I've found is to leave the MTSO and keep looking for someone who will respect your requests. It's tough to bounce around like that, but I don't think your existing MTSO will change. Good luck.
I think so, although at times the
communication can be not so great. I don't know how many MTs KS has, though they seem to be growing so fast that the number is subject to change weekly, but there is still a small feel to it. The owner is fairly forthcoming with information, at least from what I have seen thus far.
Here are the times - SM
If your last name starts with the letter A through F: 10 AM
If your last name starts with the letter G through O: 11:30 AM
If your last name starts with the letter P through Z: 2 PM
You have said that 3 times...
Who are you trying to convince? If the hourly QCs were worried about quality instead of their own prestige and how much money they make, things might have been different....
Not at the times it happens. Not at all....
Anyone who has done this for a while knows that there are slowdowns around major holidays, like T-giving, Christmas, 4th of July. At my other companies, I did not run out of work on May Day, Cinco DE Mayo, Columbus Day...you get the idea. They overhire. Period. They have a right to do so. The MTs you lose due to that practice are the high producers with stellar accuracy ratings, not those who shall have trouble finding other jobs.
How many times can you do that?
It takes at least 90 days to get benefits at a new company. It is not just an easy decision to move on. If you can't get that concept then just skip the messages by the MTs who have every legitimate right to complain about these companies.
Why don't you think before you post such flippant answers?
In times like these...
Ya'll, in times like these, I tell myself. Self, the ink has already dried on the paper, nothing can be changed. There is no use getting heart palpitations/angina over it. From past experiences, most everybody knows what is going to happen. Now, I tell myself, when the time comes, you have to consider all the pros and cons from all sides and then make a rational decision. I remember when MQ went through this and all the hair pulling-out and teeth gnashing (myself included) that went on. If you cannot accept what is written in concrete, you (I) need to make a decision and go for it. In the meantime, I will put my nose to the grindstone, tighten my proverbial budget belt, and work as hard as I can and try and save some money for a rainy day.
P.
Again and I have said it many times sm
before......it has only become like this since the schools have advertised MT as a work at home job! Also those who only got into this profession soley for the fact of working at home......I really feel bad for you.
The MT profession is an honorable profession to be in. It is about the patients and never should have been represented as it has been in the last 10 or so years. This has what has brought it to the level it has become.
Tried to start with them 3 times
I was offered a position with them, gave notice in-house, then they called me the day before I was supposed to start and said the had lost the account. A similar situation happened 2 other times.
Times change. It's not about YOU, it's about
what the reality is today, not four months ago.
Congratulations on your windfall, though.
If you have doubts, email or call the person who hired you and they'll verify this.
last year I was down quite a few times because of
evacuations. Just decided to move out of Florida instead.
DISHONEST TIMES 2!
I transcribed 1,195 lines and ichart reflected only 154.08 lines the next day! I documented line counts every day, and for one pay period it was 2500 lines off on their end! - disqualified from benefits too. NO answer from supervisor.
This has been discussed many times over the last
few weeks. Do a search of this site and you will find many posts. You can scroll down or go to the second page and probably even the third page at the bottom and find posts from people who work there. I know I am very happy. They are a very nice company with excellent benefits.
I have said many times for two years
That I am with Medware, they treat me fair and keep me in work. The line rate is higher that MQ where I spent 4 years, the insurance coverage at Medware is $17/week for United Healthcare, the incentive plan is attainable, we get direct deposit every other Friday. They treat you fairly. Sometime I wish I did not read this board, but I still believe there are those who are looking for a better company and ask for information. I happen to like working for Medware. Calling someone an idiot is rude, I guess one must consider the source. Time to go to work.
RE work times
Yes, that would probably work. My experience was that they would download work to you at night and it was available that evening and through the next day. Like I said, you kind of make your own schedule within the window of time they need it back. You may need more than one doctor though if you want 6 hours of work per day of steady work. I had 4 doctors, one that dictated 1 1/2 hours a day and one that dictated every other day but had 5 hours of work each time. It varies by who you have for doctors. You can make them aware that you would like that many hours and they can accomodate it I'm sure. Only one thing you need to know though is NO DIRECT DEPOSITS and they use snail mail unless you pay to have it expressed.
I have answered that many times.
If you don't want to provide that info you don't have to but they don't have to review your incomplete application either.
I used it a couple of times and liked it. nm
x
Yes.....and I have done that way too many times and that makes me.....
worry about identify theft. Make sure you keep a record of who you send this info too just in case! 
My AC and TL have also called me many times not just ops
Like I said one AC is real bad about it, maybe you don't have the same one.
Someone has asked about them at least 5 times
this week. If you'll scroll down the page you'll find info, also check archives. Nothing good. Indian company with a store front office in US.
Lots of times
There are many times when I want a hard copy of something, be it emails, articles, etc. I have been around long enough to know computers do go down and information lost. It is also a safety net.
They have contacted me 3 times about
working for them, but I have turned them down so I don't know much about them. They have several different platforms that they work with, most at internet-based where you type real-time into the cyst. I have 20 years of experience in acute care and I think they offered me 8 cpl.
how many times have we seen this same post now?
?
again, it's been posted many times that it's either....
nm
It has been talked about several times, but no one is
willing to do anything so nothing gets done. Personally I have no desire to be in a union and wouldn't join if there was one. By the time you pay union dues you wouldn't be any better off than you are now.
I tried several times today and kept
getting the page you get when a link is bad. I haven't called to see what is going on. Since you only need it to add your line count I'm not concerned. I can still work and it isn't end of pay period.
Only 4 times a year??
That's not very much work being audited. I don't see how the company is so great if people are finding it difficult to reach 1200 lines in 3 months. It doesn't sound like their platform is very good.
A lot of times you can go to the website
and it will tell you if a company is hiring or not.
Thank you a million times over - sm
I thought I had simple questions but after all those posts, you'd think not! LOL!
I really appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions - so thankful! Have a lovely weekend :)
I have read this several times about DSG
Sounds like a chronic problem there...this is why I have never applied.
I have sent them my resume 3 times and have
to hire somebody with more than 30 years experience. Thanks for mentioning them tho.
Four times a day they post how many
reports per account. You can work whenever you want without asking if you need to make up lines, but there may be 10 others trying to do the same. I've sat in front of my computer with no work, the status report comes up with 100 reports and I get 3 reports before the work runs out again. There is a way to grab reports and put them in pending and I think there are people who do that.
I think they are just giving you the times
they need people. Just because you are IC does not mean that you can work whenever, only when they want you to or need the help. They can tell you that they only have work between 12 noon and midnight, so that would be when you would work for them. Just because you are IC you cannot tell them to let you work at 8 a.m. if they is not when they need the help. They do have a little leeway, they just cannot set a strict schedule.
Times past it was the same as now -
If you are typing radiology, op notes or ERs - no, it would not be a good deal. Discharge summaries, definitely! You know when the doctors hem and haw and talk to the other doctors or take a phone call? Or you have a dictaiton that's just dead air, no dictation? You get paid for all that time that the doctor is not talking. It doesn't depend on times past versus times now. I was paid by the minute 20 yeras ago and it was the same then. It's good money with discharge summaries, not good for op notes or ERs.
Yes, multiple times.
No response.
HOW many times must we say this hear;
When I next speak with Ms. Xanax, I will have her pay you a house call. Chill out.
